My name is Ky Hargrave. I'm 27 year old, mother of two boys. I'm a stay at home mom, and before that I worked in a cardiology office as a stress test technician. I love staying at home with my boys and thank my fiance for giving me the chance to do this, however there are some incredibly challenging times. This blog is to help moms, dads, or whoever reads it, to help them understand that even the best of us have horrible days. We can either laugh, learn and move on, or come down way too hard on ourselves.

I am a domestic violence survivor, and probably not in the way you are thinking. In my childhood, there was a lot of violence between my parents. There are a lot of people who fail to take in to consideration the children of violence, and even though the child may not have been abused, they still feel the pain just as much as anyone else. Please, if you are in a situation where you are being verbally, emotionally, mentally or any other way abused, please don't hesitate to get yourself some help, if not for you, then for your children. Reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800−799−7233 | 1-800-787-3224 (Deaf/Hard of Hearing TTY), or their website at http://www.TheHotline.org/. If you cannot safely use these links or need more discretion, please feel free to email me at ky@candidmom.net, and I will work with you to help in any way possible. No person, male or female, should ever suffer abuse from anyone.
